There will be no need to strip and touch your body at security checkpoints in the future. As the aviation industry strives to improve flight safety for passengers, but it has triggered a series of complaints from passengers about inappropriate touching during security checks, eye scanning and future security channels may soon become standard procedures for airport security checks. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) demonstrated an airport security channel model, known as the "Checkpoint of the Future" in Singapore on the 7th. Passengers are classified as non-security threats. During the 20-foot-long high-tech security channel, shoes and suitcases can be quickly scanned, and the channel can also detect liquids and explosives. U.S. Federal Transportation Safety Administrator Pistor believes that the safety channel that IATA plans to implement within five years is "a good idea." He said, "This kind of facility is long overdue. Although we have not reached the point of future checkpoints, we have been working in this direction and will eventually launch similar facilities." IATA President Bisgani said: "Passengers should walk to the boarding gate with dignity. This security check channel means they do not have to take off their clothes or unpack their luggage, and they certainly do not touch their bodies." Many passengers have given up flying because they cannot stand the long and annoying security measures at the airport, and instead travel by train, ship or car. Airlines are trying every means to win back passengers. IATA predicts that the aviation industry's profits will drop from 18 billion yuan last year to 4 billion yuan this year. The Transportation Security Administration has spent the past six months developing a screening system that can identify passengers who are not a security threat, thereby reducing unnecessary screening procedures. "One size does not fit all," Pisto said. The Transportation Security Administration may launch an early plan at some airports this year to allow passengers who fly frequently or have a clear security background to undergo only minimal security checks.
